RMD

[dborowicz]

What are the rules regarding a IRA to Roth IRA  conversion.  Limits?  Do I need earned income?

Will a IRA to Roth IRA  conversion count towards an RMD?

Is a Roth IRA subject to RMD?

[fanfare]

you must take 100% of an RMD first, before any conversion.

Otherwise, you will be in trouble.

[dmertz]

In addition to the requirement that the RMD be completed first, the RMD itself is not permitted to be converted to Roth.

Your Roth IRAs are not subject to RMDs.
